SECRET EEGrsLATIvE SESSION.
long Conference Of Democrats Last
Night; Another To-Day.


A special caucus of the Democratic
members Of the Legislature was held in
the hall of the House of Delegates last
night. The object of the meeting was
ostensibly the consideration of the
cablegrsm received by Governor Lee
from the Council of Foreign Bondhold-
ers and sent to the Legislature yester-
day, for when the caucus adjourned the
night before it was with the stated in
tention Of not meeting again before
next Wednesday.
The same bonds of secrecy were
placed on the legislators last night as
before, and only members and Ser
geant-at-Arms Hill were inside the hall.
The eaytus met at 6 O'Clock, and con-
tinued in session over three hours. The
debt question was exhaustively dis
cussed, the Rhea constitutional
amendment and the question OF the
appointment of commission TO
confer with the foreign bond
holders taking the conspicuous lead.
While the former is in decided
favor, yet the drift of opinion
seems to be towards the latter-that is,
there appears disposition TO hold the
constitutional amendment in abeyance
and appoint commission to confer
with q similar commission from the
foreign bondholders, provided the lat
ter SEND their representatives here.
But the commission is to be clothed
IN fn N
tlement, but only to formulate the plan
Of one agreeable and equitable to both
parties and present it to the General
Assembly for ratification.
Senator Hurt and Delegate Darst pre-
sided and Senator Lovenstein acted as
secretary cnring the evening. Among
the speakers we're Messrs. Diggs,
Stubs, Buchanan, Figgat, 4. Fulker-
son, and Barbour.
The attendance was quite large, but
many members left before the caucus
adjourned. The hall was very warm
and the rotunda Of the Capitol WAS
much frequented by members.
Mr.. Figgat, of Fincastle, held the
floor longer than any other speaker,
and antagonized Mr.. Fulkerson's views
in support of the Riddleberger bill.
Mr.. Figgat, it seemed, favored a com
promise Of the debt with the creditors,
even at two cents on the dollar if the
creditors would accept 80 little.
Before the caucus adjourned it WAS
agreed to meet to-day at O'Clock,
when the discussion will be resumed.
1t is probable special session of the
two houses will be held tonight to re-
ceive and consider the report of what is
done at this evenings conference.

THE DEBT QUESTION.
The measures affecting the debt
pending before the Legislature were dis
cuesed with great earnestness, members
from almost every district participating.
1t was concluded to be nowise in the
province of the committee to make any
suggestion to the Legislature as to their
action upon measures before them, but
so far as the expression of opinion went
the committee WAS unanimous in saying
that the constitutional amendment
ought not to be adopted.
The committee adjourned between 6
and 7 o'clock until 10, when it again re-
assembled and discussed matters of
party interest in connection with the
fall campaign, after which it adjourned
subject to the call of the chairman.

Railroad News.

In conversation yesterday with Call re-
porter, Colonel z. f. Croker stated that the
directors of the Southern Pacific and the
shareholders of the Oregon and California
had come to an understanding regarding
the terms for the transfer of the road to tie
Southern Pacific system. Whether any
papers had been signed making the sale
absolute he was not certain of, but believed
the transaction will be satisfactorily con-
cluded within the next few days. The
completion of the California and Oregon to
Ashland depends entirely upon the sue
cessful termination of the negotiations, and
should they fall through the construction
force at work on the California road will
Immediately be taken off and the compile
ton of the road delayed for an indefinite
period. About 5lt miles of road yet re-
main to be constructed before connection
can be made with the Oregon and Califor-
MIA, the present end of the track being
about twenty five miles from the boundary
line.
In reference to the reported sale of the
Houston and Texas road to the Southern
Pacific, Colonel Croker said that the con-
troll of the line had been obtained by the
Southern Pacific at the same time that the
Morgan system had been purchased. The
road had been and was then in the hands
of a receiver. and the rumor concerning
purchase had, doubtless, originated in an
attempt that is now being made to take it
out of the receivers hands for the purpose
of recognizing and refunding it. In refer
ence to Southern California projects, Col
onel Crocker stated that it was the desire
and determination of the company to push
the road to Santa Barbara as soon as posi-
